Saunders & Associates is led by a highly experienced and talented management team and operates all of our offices together as one organism, allowing for consistent and agile decision making. The team is committed to continual innovation and improvement of systems that support our agents and clients.

We educate, empower, and engage our agents to grow their business. Information is freely shared within the company, both informally and during weekly company meetings, fostering a collegial culture in which agents and support staff work together and help one another succeed. Focused “Train To Gain” sessions are held each week to keep our agents abreast of new developments in technology, local legislation, and other information that affects their business, as well as the real estate industry throughout the Hamptons.

Saunders provides smart, refreshing concierge services to buyers, sellers, and renters that are thoughtfully aligned with the Hamptons’ sophisticated and high-profile culture. The firm’s offices are the most luxurious in the Hamptons and include kitchens, living rooms and areas where guests can access and review listings. They are fully staffed seven days a week with support and marketing personnel and are open daily from 9am-6pm.

Our state of the art company technology network is Mac-based with in-house professional printing and binding equipment that enables us to produce beautiful print materials in a variety of sizes and formats. The offices are connected by high-speed fiber optic lines, allowing the marketing team to create presentations that can then be printed in any of the firm’s offices. Using the latest photography and videography equipment, we are able to create virtual tours of properties with Matterport 3D room scans, drone photography, and handheld video. Large TV screens in each of our offices display property photography and video in large formats, and our visual content is used in online advertising campaigns and across all of Saunders’ highly active social media platforms, which are updated daily.

in-house intelligence

Another way we empower our agents to create and enable deals is by providing analysis services that review sales histories, permit requirements, and zoning regulations. Through our affiliated title business, New York Title Abstract Services, we run title on each Saunders exclusive listing as soon as we are engaged by the client. This provides an important level of clarity about the property from the outset and is impactful in expediently moving an accepted offer to contract signing. We understand that clarity is paramount for a smooth transaction.

Theresa Quigley, Esq. is our Executive Managing Director and General Counsel. She has been a practicing attorney for over 30 years in NYC and the Hamptons. Theresa directly assists our agents with zoning analysis, structuring transactions, and negotiating deals. She interfaces with local government officials, surveyors, title companies, environmental engineers, house inspectors, and lenders in an effort to move our transactions forward.

Theresa was Deputy Supervisor for East Hampton Town from 2010 through 2013 and worked for 15 years at the firm Farrell Fritz resolving real estate, tax, estate planning, corporate, and environmental issues.

in-house marketing department

The Saunders marketing mandate is to continually conceive and launch new, responsive ways to connect with qualified buyers for Hamptons properties around the corner and around the world.

Steve Glick, the firm’s Senior Vice President of Advertising & Marketing, has been leading the Saunders marketing team for the past 12.5 years. He is continually improving the innovative and effective advertising, marketing, and technology systems that empowers our agents and stimulates sales. Steve is among the most respected luxury real estate marketing professionals in the industry.

The firm has created an in-house creative studio that is staffed with full-time photographers and videographers, graphic designers, a senior graphic designer, web designers, social media experts, IT support, and a copywriter. The creative team helps our agents grow their business and craft promotional pieces that set them apart. Our top-notch administrative support staff is invested and engaged in the concierge culture of the firm. All deal-related paperwork, such as exclusive agreements, leases, and commission bills are prepared by the administrative team, thus freeing agents to do what they do best: to list and to sell properties.

In addition to our award-winning in-house marketing team, we also work with top branding and public relations firms to help develop messages that enhance the effectiveness of our endeavors and broaden our reach.

Prime Advertising In Prime Positioning

Saunders’ distinctive and captivating advertising is complemented with prime placement that grabs the reader’s attention. We have secured the first ad position on page A2 in the local weekly editions of The Southampton Press, The East Hampton Press, The East Hampton Star, James Lane Post, and The Shelter Island Reporter. In addition, Saunders advertises weekly in the New York Post’s inside front cover position on Saturdays.

We also run full-page color ads in many of the other media outlets, such as Quest, Hamptons, Hamptons Cottages & Gardens, Hamptons Real Estate Showcase, East End Living, The Daily, Purist, Social Life, Spotlight, Hamptons Life, Montauk Life, Palm Beach, and many others.

Internet Exposure

One of our strongest assets, HamptonsRealEstate.com, is a cinematic, userfriendly, internationally promoted, luxury-minded website. Over 90% of buyers and renters of Hamptons properties start their search for real estate online, and our site is consistently optimized to rank highly on all search engines.

The site has been designed to provide an immersive experience for luxury buyers and renters. Cinematic video and compelling property photography immediately engage viewers to explore all types of homes for sale and rent, in addition to discovering the best aspects of the surrounding neighborhood. We recently re-imagined, reengineered, and re-designed our site to further reach and engage users with our brand promise, to provide a higher form of realty for sellers, buyers and agents. With 60% of our customers visiting our site on mobile devices, we made sure their experience is as easy to use and visually impactful as the desktop version.

Because our website URL (HamptonsRealEstate.com) matches this popular search phrase word for word, Saunders’ website ranks high on searches for Hamptons property. In addition, our listings are syndicated on many domestic and international real estate websites.

We are also the most prolific owner of street and place name URLs in the Hamptons. We own over 2,000 such names and property addresses and use them to optimize our online web strategies and provide a better user experience for buyers seeking property details.
